What is the Well-Tempered Clavier of literature? The famous collection of preludes and fugues, which is the essence of keyboard repertoire and a marker for composers in understanding the complex relationship between creative freedom and formal craftsmanship. Despite its didactic purpose, it embodies an insight into the deepest metaphysical dimensions of Bach's music. So, what would be the literary equivalent?

Seriously, does anybody in literature even come close? Especially from the same time period. Recommend me something as beautifully weaved as the pieces in The Well-Tempered Clavier, or as epic as the St. Matthew Passion, or as tragic and pastoral as the Cello Suites, or as abstract as The Art of the Fugue. You can't, can you?

Anybody else getting really tired of politics, philosophy, science, materialism, non-fiction works etc. and starting to realize that the only thing that matters is art?

Why does nobody in literature come close to him? Why is he so peerless?
